Introduction to Nursing Practice Quiz Questions
Question 1 of 5
Medication Calculation: The nurse practitioner prescribes: Trazodone 150 milligrams by mouth at bedtime for insomnia. Trazodone 25 milligrams is available. How many tablets would you administer at bedtime?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Prescribed 150 mg ÷ 25 mg tablets = 6 tablets . Option A (2) is 50 mg, B (1) is 25 mg, C (1.5) is 37.5 mg all insufficient. Precision ensures sedation without overdose risk; 6 tablets match the dose, making it correct.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse reviews with a student the responsibilities of a student nurse. Which student statement indicates additional teaching is required?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Student nurses must check labs , note abnormalities , and monitor charts , then notify appropriate professionals of significant findings. Saying notification is outside scope is incorrect, indicating a need for teaching. This responsibility aligns with safe care coordination, even under supervision. Misunderstanding scope could delay interventions, risking patient harm, making it the statement requiring correction through further instruction.
Question 3 of 5
A high school graduate plans to attend a One Plus One Program. How should this student explain the program to her friends?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The One Plus One Program trains students as LPNs in year one, then adds a year for RN preparation , often while working. Applying to baccalaureate or associate degrees involves different tracks (PN to BSN or ADN), and MSN requires a BSN first. D accurately describes the program's ladder, making it the correct explanation.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse provides care and meets the needs of a patient until the patient is able to resume self-care. Which nursing theory is this nurse implementing?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Virginia Henderson's theory defines nursing as assisting patients with 14 basic needs until self-care resumes. Levine focuses on conservation, Johnson on behavioral balance, and Neuman on systems. Henderson's patient-centered approach matches this care model, emphasizing independence, making it the implemented theory.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is confused on why systems thinking is important since working on the unit involves caring for a few specific clients. What explanation by the nurse manager is best?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Systems thinking helps nurses understand how individual care fits into the broader healthcare system, seeing the 'bigger picture' . Root-cause analysis is a tool, not the purpose. Quality and safety are outcomes of systems thinking, not the explanation. Management is speculative and narrow. Option C addresses the nurse's confusion by emphasizing holistic awareness how unit actions impact the system fostering better decision-making and patient care, making it the manager's best response.
